Gender Defining Pronoun Badges To Be Released 2018

Badgesfor individualsto choose and present their desired gender pronoun, for example ‘he’ or ‘she’, are being released.

Brighton & Hove City Council employees as well as associates are releasing a city wide campaign #MyPronounsAre to indicate Trans Day of Visibility on 30 March 2018.

Some badges also say “please use my name” whilst others remain blankfor users to fill in by themselves.

This campaign has been produced with assistance and input from local LGBT+ neighborhoodteams – such as the Clare Project and Trans Alliance, the council’s LGBT Workers Forum, local NHS trusts, the University of Brighton and Sussex Police.

The badges are now being sent out to virtually allorganisations, and will beaccessible to the public all through the week beginning 26th March.

Ms Daniel, chair of the neighbourhoods, inclusion, residential areas and equal rights panel, added in: “Now there is more freedom and safety to be ourselves. But there’s still more to do.

“Who a person is may not match what you expect and may not be defined easily. If someone’s pronouns differ from what you assume, it’s for you to adapt and it’s OK to ask.

“We’re proud of being a diverse city, and the council is committed to equality and inclusion for all people including our trans and non-binary residents.
